Waltz, Viennese Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango and Quickstep are Ballroom, Cha-Cha-Cha, Samba, Jive, Paso Doble and Rumba are Latin, and then the other four are strictly neither but American Smooth and Argentine Tango are classified as Ballroom and Charleston and Salsa as Latin.

It'd be odd if we didn't have a Rumba this week as that would mean Georgia's still the only one who's done it.

You are probably correct, I was just using the dances from last year (from the same week).

Mind you, whoever does get the rumba is at a disadvantage I feel (not a high scoring dance with either judges or the audience; especially for the female celeb).

Ainsley has the Jive (via Natalie's Twitter), which she's so excited about doing she tweeted it at twenty past one on a Monday morning.

Natalie is excited about doing a jive with her 6'3" heavy-set 58-year-old celebrity? Wonder if she's choosing a la Brendan - the fastest song she can find?

Hoping jay and Aliona have something upbeat ; especially after last week QS. The Charleston would be perfect.


Team GG should do very well with their salsa.

Jamelia might fade in the background again next week if Tristan doesn't choreograph something a bit exciting. .....and the foxtrot is the hardest ballroom dance ( imo anyways )

One can only dream for something like this...

However, we will probably get something inappropriate. Rather tired of dances being shoe-horned to fit music just because it's current/by some trendy artist.

I can see Tristan choreographing a more sassy Foxtrot for Jamelia, 'sassy' is the only word I can think of she's excelled more in dances that require personality and attitude, her Charleston was amazing!

I can see G&G remaining mid-pack with their Salsa. I'm starting to think out of the celebrities I rank as the top; Katie, Helen, Peter, Kellie, Jay, Anita, and possibly Jamelia, she'll leave the competition before them.

Ainsley's Jive I can see being entertaining to watch, maybe a little struggle with technique but I think they'll be safe if it entertains.

I think Georgia is much better than Peter & Jamelia at least. She's also better than Helen in Latin, but maybe slightly not as good as her in ballroom. I'd also put her probably equal with Anita, Anita is better natural dancer but Georgia is neater.

I'd say only really Jay and Kellie are better than her (Jay's mess up notwithstanding) and Helen will go past her if she can relax into her Latin.
